Water being the most common and useful resource is running short, for which we as human beings are held responsible. It is a fact that humans consume millions of gallons of water a day. It is also understood that the car wash business owner’s pumps out more than 10 gallons of dirty water in every wash, which also pollutes the waterways and groundwater too. If we decide to recycle this water, it can be used for the same or different purposes according to our needs. Recycling of vehicle wash water will benefit the business as well as the environment.
Setting up a water recycle system will help your businesses in saving both money and water. Installation of the recycle system will be a fixed asset and a one-time investment project for your company. The scientifically proven water treatment technologies, saves water resources and reuse the treated water for pre-washing purposes.
Waste water is treated differently, depending on its contamination and source. Several treatments are made available in the market to get rid of the contaminations from these waters. The recycling process of water was introduced several years ago, and there are numerous treatment techniques depending on its contamination level.
Many companies provide treatments to clear the water from chemical compositions, with dirt particles, organic matter, non-emulsified hydrocarbons, detergents, oil residues and many more. The physicochemical and membrane treatment being the most famous will clear off the water from all the pollutants and brings it back to its recycled state. It has become a necessary for the car wash business owners to install the water recycle system, to preserve the water resources for the future generations.
“The process of letting air into the wastewater in order to allow aerobic biodegradation of the organic materials” is aeration. It is usually the first process done in a treatment plant. This process lets air and water to be in close contact which helps in removing the dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide and also oxidizes dissolved metals like iron, hydrogen sulphide, and other volatile organic chemicals (VOCs).
The membrane bioreactor technology helps in performing the critical solid-liquid separation function. The process makes use of membrane filtration equipment such as low-pressure microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with a biological treatment method. The vacuum (gravity-driven) and pressure-driven systems are the two types used in MBR.
The process of moving bed bioreactor attains good results of disposal with low energy consumption. It is used to remove organic substances, nitrification and denitrification. The MBBR system has an activated sludge aeration system where the sludge is collected in a recycled plastic carrier. The carriers have large internal space for an optimal contact with water, air and bacteria.
The bacteria grow in the surface of the carriers and breaks down the organic matter from the wastewater. The aeration system helps in keeping the bacteria active in the carriers.
The basic process of an SBR is by bubbling oxygen into the wastewater to reduce the biological oxygen demand (BOD) and the chemical oxygen demand (COD). The reduction of BOD and COD makes it suitable to use on land. The SBR process is divided into five periods: Fill, React, Settle, Draw, and Idle. The fill and react periods may differ according to the aeration and mixing procedures. The SBR has several configurations but the basic process remains the same.
This is a cost-effective method that is mainly used in residential and commercial complexes. The SAFF technology has three stages, primary, secondary treatment and final settlement/clarification. The SAFF process reduces the biological oxygen demand (BOD) and also the suspended solids (SS) which is powerful enough to contaminate river and seawater. The process improves the “effluent discharge quality”.
Having mentioned some of the types of sewage treatment methods, it is clear that these treatments are indeed effective and will make the water reusable. It may not be suitable for drinking but can be definitely used for other purposes. Wastewater treatment is no more a luxury but a necessity. It will soon become mandatory as we move forward to live in this world.
